for Z & U Sheet Piles

2 New Control System

Extremely sophisticated modular model applicable to Z & U Sheet Piles

The new control system manages the position of the press-in machine and controls load
generation from press-in work during operation, maximising the durability of each part.
Also, control of the machine is remarkably improved by the Press-in Force Control
System and the Phaseless Linear Auger Torque Control System.

Operation Mode corresponding tothe Casing Chuck is automatically detected

Flexible and Functional Formula
The F401 features a new modular design developed by optimising all the partsand drastically modifying the structure, shape, and material.
Not only are the main component parts more versatile,
it is also equipped with a cutting-edge control system,and realising high functionality and longer operation life.

1 Optimising Work Efficiency with Modular Design
Silent Piler F401 is applicable to Standard, Water Jetting, and Super Crush press-in works by changing the chuck and chuck
frame, and equipping attachments. The machine can be utilised more efficiently because it is adjustable to various soil conditions
and working conditions.

Load applied to Silent Piler
can be reduced.

3 Multi-position clamps
The clamp pitch is adjustable to multiple positions by using hydraulicsystem for over 40 types of sheet pile without disassembly.

Low Emission Engine

Ultra Low Noise Level

The Power Unit of the F401 is a newgeneration model and has environmentally-friendly specifications. It is
designed with strict concepts for cleanemissions with high combustion efficiency and GIKEN's original hydrauliccontrol technologies.

It clears allowable construction noiselevels in many industrialised countries.

-10.5 dB(A)Auger Motore.g. Noise Limitin Urban Area

Slide Cover-7.0 dB(A)The "Pilot Coring Theory", GIKEN's original theory, makes the Hard Ground
Press-in Method able to install sheet piles into difficult ground conditions such asgravelly soil and cobble or boulder mixed soil without losing the advantages ofthe Press-in Method. The augering area can be reduced to assist pile installation,
minimising volume of spoil and disturbance to the soil strata. Hence, high bearing
capacity is available from sheet piles which are installed by the Hard Ground
Press-in Method.

Biodegradable Oil
The F401 uses bio-degradable Piler EcoOil and Piler Eco Grease. Hence, if
hydraulic oil or grease is spilled into soilor water, there will be no environmental
damage to the surrounding ecosystem.
In addition, the machines are painted
with TX-Free non-leaded paint *.
* Environmentally-friendly paint which does not containtoluene, xylene and lead based pigment.

GIKEN IT System

Press-in Monitoring and Data Logging System

GIKEN's engineers can monitor individual Silent Pilers, suchas operating condition, maintenance records and location.
Quick advice for any technical troubles is available promptly
and appropriate information can also be provided to prevent
troubles.

Press-in monitoring data can be used for quality control andinformation modelling of the foundation. Operators are able tokeep working while checking data such as press-in force,
auger torque, and working hours of press-in work, on a tabletor PC (both optional extras).

* The system is not available in the countries where authorisation forusage cannot be acquired.
